Driving Production

First born a revolutionary idea: do not kill prisoners, but to use them for production of vital goods. Then this idea, mastering the mind the rest of society, becomes the driving force behind the development of the slave relations of production. First born a revolutionary idea: to declare all the land owned by master, and the tenant to take part made them good. Then began to develop the feudal relations of production. First born a revolutionary idea: through private ownership of means of production and wage labor to produce products that are now surplus to cover all the costs of their production. Then began to develop capitalist relations of production.

First born a revolutionary idea: by dictatorship of the proletariat and the nationalization of all means of distributing vital goods produced in accordance with the labor input in their production. Then the development of these relations showed fallacy of this idea. First born a revolutionary idea: the distribution of income in accordance with the labor input in their production can be organized through collective share ownership of the means production, market economy and improvement of democratic forms of social organization. Then implement this idea into practice will begin construction of the socialist relations of production. (6).

So way, based on social progress, as well as progress in general, is a progressive idea. Remember: there is nothing but matter. The idea, thought, consciousness – not less tangible effects than a bronze bust of a thinker. (7). So, theory of progress, where the driving force is the progressive idea, is not an idealistic theory.
